PRECAUTIONS
On Safety
As the laser beam used in the CD
player section may be harmful to the
eyes, do not attempt to disassemble
the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On Power Sources
For battery operation, use 6 size C
batteries. We recommend alkaline
batteries for longer life.
When the batteries will not be used
for a few weeks or more, remove them
to avoid damage that can be caused
by battery leakage or corrosion.
On Placement
Do not leave the player in a location
near a heat source, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or mechanical shock.
Do not place the player on an inclined
or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 1 inch of
the back of the cabinet. The
ventilation holes must not be covered
for the player to operate properly and
prolong the life of its components.
If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location
in the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the
sun.
Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or springwound
watches away from the player to
prevent possible damage from the
magnets.
On Operation
If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the CD
player section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait
about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate. If the player has not been
used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few
minutes before inserting a cassette.
This CD player is designed to be
played on a stable no vibration
position. If you bump the set during
CD play, the music will stop or skip for
a few seconds. This is normal for this
type of player.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please contact
our customer service department at
1-800-315-5885.

PRECAUTIONS(continued)
Notes on CDs
Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
Notes on Cassettes
Break off the cassette tab from side A
or B to prevent accidental recording.
Side A
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose the CD to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked
in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature inside
the car.
Do not stick paper or stickers on the
CD, nor scratch the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause a tracking
error or skipping.
Tab for side B
To record on a tape with its tab broken
off, cover the respective tab hole for
side A or B with adhesive tape.
Use of a cassette with more than
90 minutes, such as C-120 (120
minutes), is not recommended.
The extreme thinness of this tape
may damage this set.
To reduce the chances of tape
jamming or tangling, you should check
that there are no loose layers of tape
visible through the cassette center
window. If any, tighten these loose
layers of tape using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the set.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Lens
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a
skipping of sound during CD operation.
Clean with a commercially available lens
cleaner and blower.
Cleaning the Tape Heads
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and
the capstan with a cleaning swab slightly
moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol
after every 10 hours of operation for
optimum playback and recording quality.
After cleaning, insert a tape when the
areas cleaned are completely dry.

Notes for Storing
Cassette Tapes
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic
field, such as a TV, or speaker.
Magnetic fields may reduce the tape
sensitivity or even erase the
recording.
2. Do not store tape for any length of
time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring
